Description
The striking Zia influenced Sun 'n Sand Motel neon sign on Route 66 in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. The sign was restored during the 2003 New Mexico Route 66 Neon Sign Restoration Project. The blocks with the word “Motel” on them was restored to their original blue color at that time. I love how the blocks create an arrow pointing toward the motel.
The motel was built in the mid to late 1950s and had 40 guest rooms and a restaurant on site. It was remodeled in 1998 but closed again around 2012.
